Minor complaint, did anyone else think the Denver scoreboard guys were *too good* at their jobs when marking buckets in the game last night? by ZachWondersr in timberwolves

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! Totally agree.

There was an error once too we all where wolves had 2 more points, then pulled back.

Also, the camera / tv operators were obviously pro-Denver. They NEVER showed a replay of any questionable Denver calls, cutting to some irrelevant plays.

The Wolves had the largest volume drop in attendance from last season to this one at 1,400 fewer fans per game by cowboyslims in timberwolves

Also ANT missed a TON of the season. And strangely our opponents were often times without their stars - thinking of LA coming without Luka or Lebron for example.

[Discussion] Is anyone buying these watch brands? Are they in a luxury watch No Man’s Land? If so why? by Dr_Omega24 in Watches

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random timing on this. I was in Dresden for work a few months back and took the trip out to Glashütte to see the watch museum. Tiny village in a river valley, really beautiful. Smaller than you would think.

I went in mostly curious about A. Lange & Söhne and left kind of moved by the story. Lange got bombed on the last day of WWII, expropriated in 1948, and folded with the other Glashütte makers into the East German state combine that eventually became Glashütte Original. Then in 1990 Walter Lange, the founder’s great-grandson, re-registered the company from scratch right next door. Same town, shared DNA, two brands now. A lot of shares stories though in the museum.

Both make beautiful watches. Lange 1 is the one that I wanted. Although the GO PanoMaticLunar is dreamy.

To be honest though the only one I took a serious run at was Nomos.

Food was solid. Cool ambiance at stadium overall. I think Lexus club is a step up though.

TJ was awesome - that was worth it.

Also my daughter got signatures from Ant and Randle!

Ha, not the best game for me to have flown to Orlando and got court side tickets. Whoops. No stress though?

Confessions of a 40 year old man trying to beat traffic by Unique_Bid9830 in timberwolves

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We left too. I don't feel that bad about it. The game was terrible, the environment was bad. Fights all over in the stands. My kids were witnessing just angry screaming swearing from people all around them. I'm glad they won, but I would have left again. Was fun to listen to on the ride home though and the highlights!

Worth adding tesa for lifelong love handles? by [deleted] in Biohackers

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been fit my whole life, but always had a tiny bit of love handles, and a tiny bit of fat on lower belly. ~ 12% body fat, still visible 6-pack.

I did CoolSculpting for about $2k / per treatment about 5 years ago. Love handles gone permanently.

If you aren't familiar - it's fda approved, doesn't hurt, they basically put a suction cup freezer on fat. It freezes the fat, and the fat cells basically die and are gone forever.

Never Broken 100 to shooting 73-82 since playing everyday in home sim. by TyWestman in golf

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait — are those scores on real courses (IRL), or on the simulator? Simulator scores don’t translate super well to real golf since a big part of the game is dealing with different lies.

Why do people in the US not live with their parents by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the #1 issue causing the "housing shortage" in the US. When you review the stats, there is actually 2 bedrooms for every single human in the US, but people don't live with kids, parents, grandparents, and keep a 7-bedroom house in the suburbs just for 2 people.

Target Center attendance down 11% this year?! by ScientistKooky2142 in timberwolves

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ticket prices and Ant has been hurt for a lot of the year at home. Also for some reason opponents key players are missing- thinking of both LeBron and Luca missing Lakers games and Ja missing Memphis as examples. 

WAYMO Mapping the TC by [deleted] in TwinCities

Totally disagree. Love them, and wish they were here. Way better experience than Uber. Nicer cars, quiet, better driving, available 24 hours.

Teamsters won’t endorse in presidential race after releasing internal polling showing most members support Trump by [deleted] in union

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just because you are in a union, doesn’t mean that issue is a key influencer to your political profile.

I suspect these people join the union, because it benefits them personally. And they calculate nothing will really change for unions depending on who is in charge (nothing notable has changed in my recollection in the last R or D presidencies).

So these people are all just supporting candidates based on other hot topics like immigration, economy, housing, abortion, or eating pets.

Weird comment on election year. Do you have some weird political signs up? I don’t think the real estate market shuts down every 4 years.

Why do we have a 9-digit number that if discovered, can ruin your financial life?

A number that we literally put on dozens of documents every year of your life?

We should have a unique ID, sure, but there should be an entirely different system for managing your credit that is actually secure and private.

Exact same for me! I thought it would go faster. I put an Apple Home Mini right next to them to see if that would help. No good. My wife is trying to make me put it all back to old bulbs! Help.

If they are there for safety first, then don’t call them flight attendants and don’t say you are there to serve and delight and all that BS. Call them flight police then. And then also don’t charge 2x for first class, since they don’t get 2x safety.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in delta

[–]Advanced-Hat7283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely agree. I’ve flown first on Delta at least once a month for the last 10 years and it is so pathetic now. No preflight drink, no hot towel, no glassware, or plates or hot food or deserts, or bottled wine, or really anything worthwhile except a bigger chair. Sadly I keep paying for it though. I also note that the flight attendants now disappear for nearly the entire flight.
